Didaktische Organisation  

Im Mittelpunkt steht die gesprochene Sprache in Alltagssituationen. Grammatische Elemente werden nur induktiv, im Zusammenhang mit konkreten Kommunikationssituationen behandelt. Eine Lerngruppe besteht aus mindestens 6 und maximal 12 Teilnehmern. Eine Unterrichtsstunde entspricht 45 Minuten.

Uns geht es auch darum, Ihnen ein lebendiges Bild unseres Landes und unserer Gegend zu vermitteln. Aus diesem Grund gehören folgende Aktivitäten zum Kursprogramm: eine Stadtführung (gratis, außer eventuellen Museumseintritten) ist an einem Nachmittag für beide Kurse vorgesehen; ein gemeinsamer Nachmittag unter dem Motto „Die Geheimnisse der ligurischen Kochkunst“ (kostenfrei; nur für den Standardkurs).

1. Why study Italian in La Spezia?

Because La Spezia and the surrounding area have much to offer visitors: easy access to the sea, beautiful landscapes, archaeological and historical sites and excellent local food;
because La Spezia has grown remarkably in recent years both in the cultural field (new museums have been opened and the town has been twinned with Bayreuth)and as a tourist resort;
because from La Spezia you can easily travel to art cities such as Genoa, Pisa Lucca, and Florence, and to smaller but very interesting places such as the Cinque Terre, the Carrara marble quarries and the Ligurian hill towns (such as Varese Ligure);
because our Cultural Association, having earned a reputation for itself teaching foreign languages (it has actively promoted German-language studies in Italy for over 30 years), considers teaching Italian to foreigners its "second vocation";
because our Italian courses are held by qualified teachers who make a point of meeting the learning needs of their students.

2. Our language courses

You can choose between two different types of course:

A 15-hour/week intensive course
3 hours of tuition a day from Mondays to Fridays;

Teaching method and organisation
The main goal of our school is to teach spoken Italian as used in daily life. Grammar is taught only by the inductive method, in the context of realistic communication settings. Groups include from a minimum of 6 to no more than 12 students. Each 'hour' of a lesson lasts 45 minutes.
Another aspect that is keyto us is to enable you to experience life in Italy and in our area in particular. This is why all our courses include the following extracurricular activities: a guided tour of La Spezia (free of charge, except for any entrance charges to museums) with a professional tour guide, on the first Wednesday of the standard course; an afternoon devoted to "The secrets of Ligurian cookery" (free of charge), in the second week of the course (for the standard course only).

Prices
15-hour intensive course: 240.00 Euros
20-hour standard course: 320.00 Euros
The price includes all the course material.
Discounts are applied to groups of at least 10 students enrolling together. Other courses
Individual tuition based on the standard course is available all year round at 25.00 Euro per lesson hour (45 minutes) for beginners and intermediate level students. On request, special courses (e.g. business Italian or for the tourist sector) can be provided. An ad hoc curriculum can be chosen to meet students' specific needs. Prices to be agreed upon. Our language courses are intended mainly for adults.

Terms of payment
Students should pay 20% of the price of the course ( = 48.00 Euros for an intensive course or 64.00 Euros for a standard course) on enrolling. The balance is due no later than the evening of the day of arrival, when an ACIT representative will welcome the participants and collect the remaining 80% of the price.
